Hello:

This isn't my style usually but a very good friend of mine was in a terrible apartment fire and had to be revived at the scene. He suffered internal injuries and is rehabilitating as we speak. His medical bills are piling up and his insurance is not going to cover nearly enough.

Joe has been a Patriot and has spoken out to everyone he meets about all types of issues, including the inconsistencies of the official story of 9/11.

Here is a picture of Joe (furthest on the right), me (blue shirt), and some friends during the 5th anniversary gathering at Ground Zero.

Joe intended to go to Ground Zero this year, but due to his injuries he will be unable to. He was also set to be married in October but the wedding has been postponed.

Please find it in your heart to give anything you can to help Joe and his family. Thanks!

Feds may probe ill 9/11 workers who went to Cuba in film

By LISA ROSE
Newhouse News Service

After suffering more than five years of health problems related to his volunteer work at Ground Zero, Maywood, N.J., resident Bill Maher felt he had nothing to lose joining documentarian Michael Moore on a sneak trip to Cuba for medical treatment, captured on film in the new movie Sicko.

Maher knew he was taking a risk journeying to the communist country with the controversial director, but he didn't think he was breaking any laws.

He was surprised to learn last week that, for violating travel restrictions, he and two other 9/11 responders featured in the picture are under investigation by the Treasury Department, which is building a case against Moore.

"We were traveling for journalistic purposes," said Maher, 54. "I never even thought about any kind of legal restrictions."

Maher believes the government is pursuing the case for political reasons, persecuting Moore because of his leftist views.

Cindy Sheehan: Twin Towers' Collapse Looked Like Controlled Demolition
Anti-war icon supports move for new investigation into 9/11

Anti-war icon Cindy Sheehan has gone public on her support for the 9/11 truth movement after she told a radio show that the collapse of the twin towers looked like a controlled demolition and that there should be a new investigation into the terrorist attacks.

Sheehan, who made headlines this week after she distanced herself from the Democratic party and the establishment left, joined Alex Jones to share her views on her skepticism towards the official 9/11 story.

Sheehan said her decision to desert the Democrats was sparked last week when the Iraq war funding bill was passed and it was at this point she realized the Democrats had co-opted her simply to help them regain Congress and that they had no interest in ending the war.

Sheehan attacked Hillary Clinton as a "warhawk and a "warmonger" and said there was very little distinction between her and John McCain or Rudy Giuliani.

Giuliani, 9/11 and the Emergency Command Center, Continued
By Sewell Chan

Joseph J. Lhota, who was a deputy mayor and top aide during Mayor Rudolph W. Giuliani’s two terms, said this afternoon that it was preposterous for Jerome M. Hauer to deny responsibility for the recommendation to place the city’s emergency operations center in 7 World Trade Center, which was destroyed on Sept. 11, 2001.

The controversy has exposed the bitter rift between Mr. Hauer and Mr. Giuliani, who hired Mr. Hauer to be the first director of the city’s Office of Emergency Management, from 1996 to 2000. The two men eventually had a public falling-out, and in 2001, Mr. Hauer endorsed Mark Green, a Democrat, in Mr. Green’s unsuccessful bid to succeed Mr. Giuliani, a Republican.

On Sunday, Mr. Giuliani told Fox News Channel that the decision to house the Office of Emergency Management’s command center at 7 World Trade Center was based largely on the recommendation of Mr. Hauer.

Why Do You Not Demand an Answer About 9/11 Mysteries? Shout-out, America - "Patriotism!"

Perhaps it's the tail wagging the dog. Perhaps it's the cover-up of a possible infiltration that if explained in truth, would scare the world and send shock waves through the "impenetrable society" known as the United States. But whatever America decides to believe after hearing the questions, it most presumably will not be anything close to what the public received as "answers" from the 9/11 Commission's report.

All over the Internet, questions are being asked, and in turn, eyebrows are being raised by those innocently ignorant to scientific probability on that fateful day we call 9/11. Those unknowingly following the media, the leaders of the modern world, and the majority beliefs sometimes become comfortable in their happy lives, forgetting that this country was birthed by radicals. The idea of a free country was created by a desire for the freedom to ask questions and freely form personal opinions. It was empowered by the courage of those who wanted change.

9/11: Why They Attacked Us
Bin Laden: In His Own Words
WTP: Petition For Redress

Please sit and take a deep breath, or even two, before you begin reading this article.

Sometimes the truth can hurt -- a lot. This may be one of those times. It was for us.

Before continuing, please remember: we are only the messengers; we deal with facts, not opinions; the Country and the Government are two separate things; we will forever love our Country and be willing to give our lives in defense of its system of governance – as designed and set forth in our founding document – but, we should always distrust the Government; we avoid all political questions; we seek only to hold those in Government accountable to Truth, Justice and the Constitution, regardless of their political stripes; we have confronted Democrat and Republican administrations with equal fervor.

Tonight, on MSNBC, the first GOP debate took place.

In my opinion, there was one candidate who answered the questions honestly and openly.

Ron Paul.

Many candidates avoided questions, skirted around answering directly, or seemed to try to placate the viewers.

GMA’s Cuomo Spins Tenet Book as Evidence of Bush Lies: 'Is It Time...to Come Clean'?

Posted by Scott Whitlock on April 30, 2007 - 12:26.
On Monday’s "Good Morning America," anchor Chris Cuomo grilled returning White House Press Secretary Tony Snow over the new book by George Tenet, the former director of the CIA. Citing Tenet’s criticisms of the White House’s pre-war activity, Cuomo asked this loaded question: "Is it time for the administration to come clean?"

The ABC anchor wondered if Bush was "out of touch" and asserted Tenet’s claims means "the administration was not straight with Americans, not about weapons of mass destruction, not about 9/11."

Additionally, Mr. Cuomo, who is both the son of former New York Governor Mario Cuomo (D) and the brother of that state’s current Democratic Attorney General, Andrew Cuomo, also failed to ask Snow about Tenet’s claim that aggressive interrogation has been very important to fighting the war on terror.

The number of terrorism incidents in Iraq -- and resulting deaths, injuries and kidnappings -- skyrocketed from 2005 to 2006, according to statistics released by U.S. counterterrorism officials yesterday.

Of the 14,338 reported terrorist attacks worldwide last year, 45 percent took place in Iraq, and 65 percent of the global fatalities stemming from terrorism occurred in Iraq. In 2005, Iraq accounted for 30 percent of the worldwide terrorist attacks.

The figures, compiled by the National Counterterrorism Center (NCTC) and released with the annual State Department Country Reports on Terrorism, showed that the number of incidents in Iraq rose 91 percent, from 3,468 in 2005 to 6,630 in 2006.

WASHINGTON -- Terrorist attacks worldwide shot up by 25 percent between 2005 and last year, killing 40 percent more people as extremists used increasingly lethal means to carry out high casualty hits, the State Department says.

In its annual global survey of terrorism to be released later Monday, the department says about 14,000 attacks took place in 2006, mainly in Iraq and Afghanistan, claiming more than 20,000 lives. That is 3,000 more attacks than in 2005 and 5,800 more deaths, it says.

In addition, the number of injuries from terrorist attacks rose by 54 percent between 2005 and 2006 with a doubling in the number wounded in Iraq over the period, according to the department's Country Reports on Terrorism 2006.

"By far the largest number of reported terrorist incidents occurred in the Near East and South Asia," says the 335-page report, referring to the regions where Iraq and Afghanistan are located.

Rare Close-Up Footage Of WTC 7 Shows Limited Fires

http://prisonplanet.com/articles/april2007/290407wtc7.htm

Released on You Tube yesterday, this is the first time we have seen close-up
footage of WTC 7 before its collapse. Compare the fires to those that
engulfed the Windsor Building in Madrid, a structure that burned for 28
hours without collapsing.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G86yuunRBIw

"Some people say that Building 7 fell in under seven seconds. They're wrong, and this video shows why." claims the user who posted this video.

The argument is that part of the building gave out prior to the so-called "total collapse".

9/11 gatekeepers muzzle truth toward societal dumbing-down

by Michael Hey

How many intelligent people have responded to the sudden disintegration of 7 World Trade Center with something akin to: "It sure looks like demolition, but I'm no physicist". Somewhere in the fog over which side owns the most credible experts, most everyone seems to have forgotten that it doesn't require an expert to tell the difference between controlled demolition and a towering inferno. Prior to September 11, 2001, no human has ever confused one for the other, because these types of occurrences have relatively little in common.

Clearly, the keepers have been remarkably successful at the gate. Being “experts” themselves, they benefit from our over-reliance on expert opinion.
